Commonly used are the following grades of heat-treated alloy steel for highpressure or extreme temperature service in diameters of 1/2 in. to 2 in., inclusive. Other grades and other diameters are available on special order. ASTM A354, Grades BC and BD - heat-treated alloy steels for applications at normal atmospheric temperatures where high strength is required. ASTM A193, Grade B7 - a heat-treated chromium-molybdenum steel widely used for medium high-temperature service. ASTM A193, Grade B16 - a heat-treated chromium-molybdenum-vanadium steel for high-pressure, high-temperature service. ASTM A320, Grade L7 - This grade is intended for low-temperature service down to minus 150F and has a minimum Charpy impact value of 15 ft-lb at this temperature. Sizes 2-1/2 in. and under. ASTM A320, Grade L43 - The same properties offered by Grade L7 in sizes up to 2-1/2 are obtainable up to 4 in. in Grade L43.
